The Skinny
Flag Football
Oh yeah! 5-0 week, that puts
me at 7-3 and off the schnide. Onto this weeks games. One note, outstanding balances may cancel
games so let’s get it done this week teams.
Game 1 – Jaguars v Wrecking Crew
This may have been a long
time coming but, this ain’t your mother’s Orange
Crush, err Jags team. They have
strengthened their line, whether it be through growth hormones or APB’s, as
well as improved through the drafting of various players who are team-less, and
as they say to teammates penniless, right now.
The Crew has also had its share of signings and still talk
one of the best games with the Croutons in the house. After battling long ago to one of the most
thrilling playoff games in history, Bernie better bring his A
game, his hat that has been missing, and a few extra ounces of juice to ensure
victory. On the other side, Thanes,
loose the dreads and come back to reality.
The difference may be in the line play so Mitch bring
some extra wardrobe change for those inevitable malfunctions – Jags 33, Crew 24.
Game 2 – Light Speed v Mile High Boys
When
thinking of getting a group of guys together and entering a league, flag
football was the Light Speed’s choice to try out. Even with some
early season games, to their credit, the Speeders keep bringing the spirit and have
become a better team. Tonight however, they face a very good team in the Boys
from
Game 3 – Firehawks v Grubsnakers
Now the Old Man River has
found some friends to fill out his roster, as everyone showed up for the last
one, he may actually have a chance in this one.
This may also be the first time that he doesn’t have to pay the league
fee himself; Nah. With the minor leagues, and we do mean the
minor leagues bringing them Marty and Wil, look for the them to skipper the defense. On the other side of the ball, Mr. Holmes,
brings both his size and stature to a team in need of respect. With so many Castells
and Lagunas its tough to
call the game from the sideline. One
team is hungry as Arthur always is before and after his game and one team looks
to go on a run – Firehawks 28, Grubsnaker
26
Game 4 – Gamecocks v Men of War
If there was money awarded
for trash talking this contest would be the one with the two highest paid
players. Unbelievably, both players first names start with “J”. There could be many flags in this one as well as many scores. Both offenses look to straighten out their
own problems as teammates want the qbs to pass more;
run less. Both of them have talented
receivers some of which even get music when they enter the builiding
but, without getting them the rock, they soon turn into downfield blockers in a
league that doesn’t allow it. Look for
each team to stretch the field with quick hits as this game could get way out
of hand, foot and mouth - Gamecocks 52, Men of War 38
Game 5 – Barracudas v Do Work
With the balance of this
game, and the amount the Barracudas need to pay, it starts to set up each teams playoff seedings. Could this be the week the Cudas
put it together. Seen in the building
was the Cuda’s original starting quarterback last
week who could barely walk to his car after being chased for 45 solid
minutes. Maybe with a different blocking
scheme, i.e. watch the A teams; he could have some more time to make at least a
pass to the single season leader in points.
For the Workers, the Myers brothers have to be excited as they know how
to pressure qbs as they have several of the big sacks
on this team. Helping on both defense
and offense this season Donovan Moore is providing some spectacular plays
already, as he proves there is no sophomore jinx. Let’s pick this for the upset of the night – Do Work 30, Barracudas 24
